Dear John,
This year, the AAUP proved something powerful: When we fight, we win.
Stand up for academic freedom. Donate now and join the fight.
As plaintiffs in critical and consequential lawsuits funded in part by the AAUP Foundation, AAUP members, including faculty, staff, and graduate student workers across the nation, stood together and stopped unconstitutional attacks on academic freedom.
These victories in AAUP v. Rubio, AAUP v. DOJ, and AAUP v. Trump—cases challenging the federal government’s efforts to deport international students and faculty for lawful speech and to deny research funding to institutions as leverage for ideological control—help to protect free expression, research integrity, and the rights of educators and students across the country.
Do you want to know the truth—and the reason we’re writing to you today? There are still many more fights to be won. With your help, we could fund even more efforts like these.
Give today!
Such victories happen because of people like you: supporters who believe in the strength of collective action, the value of higher education as a public good, and the lifesaving potential of academic research.
Your gift to the AAUP Foundation powers legal challenges, advocacy, and education that defend the core values of higher education. We appreciate your gift of any amount.
An injury to one is an injury to all. Together, we are stronger.
In solidarity,
Todd Wolfson
President, AAUP and AAUP Foundation
